Public bug reported: It seems that ubuntu-desktop notification settings are in conflict with the plasma-desktop notification settings, especially when you try to set the pop-up position on screen.
The problem occurs when both ubuntu-desktop and plasma-desktop are installed. It turns out that Plasma displays the ubuntu-style pop-up notifications, for example, when you type: wall "test notification" from console. The pop-up position is top-right as in Ubuntu desktop and not bottom-right as in Plasma. Also, its look (color, etc. is like in Ubuntu desktop). I was unable to change the position of the pop-up notification on screen. In particular, this problem occured when I tried to set the notifications for new emails in Thunderbird. When I used the GNotifier add-on and set the notification engine for "standard" in its settings, the pop-up looked like in Plasma but its position was the upper-right corner as in Ubuntu desktop. It was impossible to change the position of the pop-up by dragging it. Also, setting the position in Notifications Settings did not change anything (systray > Show Hidden Icons > Notifications (right-click) > Notifications Settings). I also tried to use the ubuntu-desktop settings: Setting the pop-up position by notifyosdconfig did not help. The problem disappeared when I uninstalled the following packages: notifyosdconfig notify-osd ubuntu-desktop mate-notification-daemon- common (also purged their configuration files). After restarting the Plasma desktop, the notification pop-ups finally show up at the correct position.
